Steve Kerr found a way to score points. Even if it doesn’t cut into the lead, the game is pretty much over.

Might as well play loose and let the bench players rack up some points and build confidence for the next game.

seems right to me. The knicks were down 16 at the half game one.

the line at the half was 16.5

GL Devil. I took the under yesterday. Was in shock the entire game. 

Going with the over tonight. First time all playoffs. 

Feels like every time a star player is out, I take the over and lose. Have to win sometime 

I mean, who on the warriors can score besides Jimmy?

Ur prob right. I was on a hot streak which usually ends bitter cold. Got minn ml for expensive. 

Tough break buddy.

After favorites killed it in game 1s in round one, an equal reversion happened in round 2.

Didn’t have a chance to look at the games really, but leaning Indiana and Minny.

indiana is probably a dumb play cuz there’s no way they shoot 60% from 3 again. Like T wolves more. GL tonight, playing them tiny today so i dont mind too much if i win or lose.

cleveland prob a better play cuz the key injuries on their team, but i haven’t looked into how serious they are.

OKC did this a couple of times at the end of the season. 

I mean it's basketball. We saw 2 teams blow a 7 point lead with like 40 seconds left last week. This wasn't quite as bad. 

The Celtics missed every 3 for like 20 mins of game time. Wouldnt be surprised if they nailed a couple off the break. 

good luck buddy. I got my money on the early game but leaning the same way for that one.

The Pacers shot like 60% from 3. Niemard was 5/6. They had to shoot lights out to win that game. Cleveland shot 25% from 3 for most of the game, otherwise they woulda just grinded out a win.

I don't think the Pacers can shoot like that again, so they better hold all 3 home games. 

I'll jump in here. First off, in regards to the Rockets, the Warriors were favored to win that series before it started. I know, a 7 seed favored over a 2 right?

In the case of the Rockets, they're just a young team. 

I would say that was the case with the Pistons as well. Young team, just happy to be there off their 3 lottery picks.

The Lakers were not even a contender to make the playoffs last year. They got a few guys for free, and all of a sudden people think they're good. Luka is a star, but Lebron is 40 years old and trading AD left a gaping hole in the middle. And JJ Reddick in his first year as a coach, period.

For Cleveland, the Pacers just came in hot, and the Cavs were due for regression that's all. The Pacers handled a very good Milwaukee team last series. I got screwed pretty badly betting against the Bucks a couple times the last month. They're a dangerous team, and the Pacers blew them out multiple times. 

Last round, Game 1 home favorites went 4-0 ATS. I just didn't expect it to continue. Boston is giving 10 against the Knicks tomorrow. Line seemed high to to me. 

Anyways, that's all. 

Hope they at least cover the second half. 

Need Houston to pull a detroit pistons impression. Never go away

@theclaw

 Might not even take til the end. 

indiana was shooting 58% from 3. Cleveland was at like 25%. Regression was coming.

2 nights ago everyone was on GS, and GS second half.

Yesterday everyone was on Clippers, and clippers second half.

Today looks like people like Indiana +2.5 for the game 

Indiana hung in there matching them but their defense is really a sieve. 

Cavs probably grind out a win. 

Buddy, you're basically talking to the MJ of the forum. Slow your roll there.

And I don't think his post was anything out the ordinary. Every post here has a pick. Then the comments either say "on them as well, let's get it!" or "On the opposite side tonight, I think X X X."

Nothing disrespectful about that. Just exchanging ideas. 

And even if he was truly challenging you, have some self confidence to stand by your pick and be like yeah, from what I've seen or in my opinion yatta yatta. Do you only post here to get words of affirmation about your plays? You don't think anyone else disagrees? 

P.S. Thanks Bator. Cuz of you I had Winnipeg in games 2 and 5.

Thanks. I was leaning Houston too. I would tell you why, but I guess they took away the DM function. 

I don't like that even that idiot Kendrick Perkins says the Warriors have no chance. What a turnaround from the assumption that GS was a shoe in for the next round.

I normally don't care, but I'm really uneasy about giving the -2.5 tomorrow. Would like to take the ML, but it's expensive. I'll be watching for your post tomorrow. 

knew we were in trouble when the whole forum was on the clips 

you got a lean for tomorrows games yet? 

I mean ur trend is misleading a little bit. 

cuz rockets are 3-1 ATS this series with when the warriors have Jimmy Butler. 

With the exception of the Knicks/Pistons Series, and the Clippers game last night, teasing hasn't really done anything but cost you more.

With that said, I'm on Golden State ML tonight. Saw something interesting in the props that let me to believe Golden State closes it out tonight. It's low enough that I won't bother with the coin flip of giving points. 

Nice comeback Claw. This playoffs has worked in your favor with most of the games alternating covers for the most part. From my experience, it usually doesn't happen that way though. 

When people post a crazy record like 8-1 they usually end up losing. Hope for our sake you stay hot.
